Cognitive control is engaged by working memory processes and high-demand situations like antisaccade, where one must suppress a prepotent response. While it is known to be supported by the frontoparietal control network, how intra- and interareal dynamics contribute to cognitive control processes remains unclear. N-Methyl-d-aspartate glutamate receptors (NMDARs) play a key role in prefrontal...
Schizophrenia is known as a syndrome of dysconnection among brain regions. As a model for this syndrome, low doses of N-methyl-D-aspartate (NMDA) receptor antagonists, such as ketamine, produce schizophrenia-like symptoms and cognitive deficits in healthy humans and animals. One of such deficits is impaired working memory, a process that engages an extended network of both frontal and parietal...
